Parque Roberto Burle Marx

Parque Roberto Burle Marx is a landscaped garden in Belo Horizonte planted with native Brazilian plant species across multiple connected sections. The grounds feature winding pathways, water features, and differently designed garden areas that represent various habitats.

The park was established after 1994 and honors Roberto Burle Marx, a Brazilian landscape architect who reshaped garden design through his emphasis on native plants. His influence shaped modern garden design in Brazil significantly.

The gardens display how native Brazilian plants grow in different arrangements and how people use the space daily. You see local species throughout that shape the city's character and show which plants belong naturally to this region.

The park is open daily with free admission and offers paved pathways, restroom facilities, and picnic areas throughout the grounds. You can walk through different sections and find rest spots for breaks anywhere.

Each garden section shows different arrangements of vegetation, water elements, and pathways that reflect Burle Marx's own design methods. These varied arrangements make every corner of the park visually and spatially distinct.
